x86/mm/pat: Use _PAGE_GLOBAL bit for EFI page table mappings Since EFI page tables can be treated as kernel page tables they should be global. All the other page mapping functions in pageattr.c set the _PAGE_GLOBAL bit and we want to avoid inconsistencies when we map a page in the EFI code paths, for example when that page is split in __split_large_page(), etc. It also makes it easier to validate that the EFI region mappings have the correct attributes because there are fewer differences compared with regular kernel mappings.
